scary maws in the holes of the donuts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from that small detail, however, these donuts are very much their own spine-tingling snack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trick to this treat is to get weird with your sprinkles. Forget pinks, whites, golds, and silvers&hellip; you&rsquo;re looking for bold, bright, and brash color sprinkles to form the horrific skin of your monsters&rsquo; faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finish them off with some pre-made candy eyeballs and some pointy eyebrows and hair made out of licorice pastels &mdash; These aren&rsquo;t donuts diners will soon forget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. <a href=\"https:\/\/airfryerworld.com\/air-fryer-halloween-donuts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Air Fryer Spooky Donuts<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=597571444327764640\" height=\"436\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe is simultaneously the most simple and creative of the lot. You don&rsquo;t need any glaze or sprinkles; you don&rsquo;t even need any oil to cook them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For these ghoulish nibbles, all you need is an air fryer, standard donut ingredients, and a little bit of powdered sugar to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&rsquo;s so scary about that, I hear you ask? Well, the genius of this recipe is that it expands upon the holiness of the donut to create a wickedly scary effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of one central hole, two holes are made towards one edge of the dough, and another is poked into the other edge of the dough, collectively forming too wraithish eyes and a gaping mouth that seems to be releasing ghostly howls into the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&rsquo;re sure to be a hit with adults and kids alike, and as they&rsquo;re air fried, you get a really tasty, crisp exterior, and a devilishly soft interior, all without the use of any fatty oils &mdash; Hooray!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.momlovesbaking.com\/halloween-spider-donuts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Easy Halloween Spider Donuts<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=119275090123355417\" height=\"591\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, so cards on the table; this isn&rsquo;t strictly a recipe, as it uses mini store-bought donuts, but you could follow its lead on the design front to give your homemade Halloween donuts a spooky makeover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The foundation of this design is a rich chocolate glaze that covers the entire donut &mdash; Yum! Then comes some clever embellishments, such as bulbous candy eyes (red is best) and eight arching pretzel legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, if you&rsquo;d rather not bring pretzels into the equation due to their different texture and high salt content, you can simply ice some on in a matter of seconds, but you&rsquo;ll have to make peace with the fact that they won&rsquo;t be quite as visually arresting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/briebrieblooms.com\/zombie-donuts-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jell-O Zombie Donuts<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=597571444327764710\" height=\"400\" width=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/center>\n\n\n\n<p>This recipe takes the zombie aesthetic and artfully applies it to the humble donut, and the results are delicioufying, which is a portmanteau I just this moment made up by combining the words delicious and terrifying.
